Tesla owners report good rates with the Tesla adapter on CCS1 chargers (EA).Pretty sure the issue with adapters & high speed DCFC is heat. Probably need native cooled cables at each charger.
I'm sure someone with actual technical knowledge might chime in here.
The best hope for Rivian owners is that Tesla is willing to provide CCS1 charging on lesser used rural superchargers. Tesla has many stations that are used heavily, and many stations that are lightly used.
I assume that, regardless of Musk statements, Tesla will not give up their significant competitive advantage with Supercharger. Musk wants to appear as a good, cooperative guy, and Tesla would like the revenue. But if he wasn't ruthless he would have never succeeded with Tesla. There will be much foot dragging as Tesla addresses the complicated issue of adding CCS1.
Rivian's RAN is potentially a major advantage. And I don't mean the silly level 2 chargers Rivian is installing so that local PHEV owners can get free charging.
